When there is too much dust in the air or it is storming, the helicopters don't fly. If you are anywhere but BIAP or Baghdad, you are stuck on the ground. But, if you are in BIAP and want to go to FOB Union III or FOB Prosperity, or vice versa, then there is only one option left--RHINO. A rhino looks like an uparmored RV with tiny bulletproof windows and gun ports. They travel in convoys (herds?) three times a day (migration?). No more animal jokes, I promise. They are skittish about being photographed (the people running the rhinos, not the rhinos themselves--last joke, seriously) so I took a picture of a picture to post.
To supplement my blog and for your viewing pleasure at home, I have made a youtube.com channel and posted some of my flying videos. For those of you with slow internet connections, open the video page, click play, then immediately click pause. Let the video load all the way, then view it. It is a lot more enjoyable that way. The link is:
